Legia Warszawa is targeting Franko Kovačević, a Croatian striker from Celje, for a winter transfer, and he has recently been linked with a move to the Ekstraklasa. A departure from Celje for the 26-year-old is expected to occur this month. Before a European cup match between Legia and Celje, journalist Jaka Kozmelj suggested the Polish club could sign the player. Kozmelj initially estimated a transfer fee between four and five million euros. The player's current valuation is now approximately three million euros. The Hungarian club Újpest is also a candidate for signing the player and has shown a readiness to meet the financial demands. A decision on the situation may be made soon. Whether Kovačević joins Celje's training camp in Spain will depend on how quickly negotiations progress and if a formal offer is made in the coming days. In the current Prva Liga season, Kovačević has scored 11 goals and provided 2 assists in 14 appearances. He joined Celje in July 2025 and is under contract until June 2028.
